  • Hello, First, moving servers should not affect your site rankings at all. Unless something in the move went wrong and lost some of your files in the transfer. Or you moved to an inferior server from your old one, but since most people move to better ones, I highly doubt that's the case. The first thing I noticed when I visited your site is that you had no robots.txt file (www.transfers-in-europe.com/robots.txt). And since you have a log-in area, I'm assuming that you want it so some of your site is not crawlable by search engines. If you don't put your robots.txt at http://www.transfers-in-europe.com/robots.txt, the search engines won't find it. After you get your robots.txt up and going, the second thing I'd recommend is making sure you have an xml sitemap. You can use Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools to expedite the process of their crawlers crawling it.

  • I still don't think you will be harmed by Google. Keri posted a good link below regarding a down website. You should give it a read. I did.

  • You can use POST instead of GET and rid yourself of the query string all together if you want. If each url produces unique content you want indexed then you need to look at creating friendly urls's, if you are hosting on a IIS server then you see how this is done here., half weay down the page. http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/microsoft-technologies-and-seo-web-development

  • I think it would be better if it were hosted on a different server than your main site is.

  • Freelance.com has 12,300,000 pages in index and most of them  are this type of pages, so it's very hard to monitor all keywords manually.  If only part of this pages works  - bounce rate to other doesn't matter at all, by the way they have page  "/jobs/iPad/" too. User relevance still main goal for Google, but using statistical algorithm has some limitations especially for such rare queries. For more frequently and competitive keywords this tactic will not work. Personally i think it's black hat with so many internal links and custom generated pages, because it hurt user experience, but using 1-3 such internal links is ok, and can positively affect positions in SERP .

  • This is not blackhat, but definitely Panda food. Unless they have a very high authority domain I don't see this technique working for them well (or at all) in the future. Reference: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-guidance-on-building-high-quality.html "One other specific piece of guidance we've offered is that low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site’s rankings, and thus removing low quality pages, merging or improving the content of individual shallow pages into more useful pages, or moving low quality pages to a different domain could eventually help the rankings of your higher-quality content."

  • This doesn't really make sense because when you 301 those domains to your regular domain, you'll be passing on all link juice, and those domains won't appear in search results.  You won't get a bonus just for redirecting good keyword domains, unless they have backlinks to them.  Once the search engines crawl the page, and you redirect it, what's stopping the search engines from crawling the page again and picking up the redirect? This feels to me like it would be gaming the system.  When your instincts tell you that, either it already doesn't work, or if it does, the search engines are working on ignoring it as a signal. I like Shane's way.

  • Ideally it should not be used on a logo because as others have said here it is a bit black hat and an alt would be preferable. but it is often used as part of css menu systems with no ill effect. http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ Is a perfect example of a widely used menu system that is build around text shunted off  the page until it is the focus.

  • One thing i noticed was you have session ids in your urls, this means the page looks like a duplicate http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-url-contains-a-session-identifier That huge list on the home page may be seen as spam.  You have over 1500 links on the front page Each one with a session id. Looking at your source code you have very little content for search engines to judge your page, its all script and links. I am trying to crawl and its very heavy going. I crawled 742 pages and found 109 of them have no title or description. I found over 6000 html errors I would get rid of those links, and seesion ids. try to get a bit more text content on to pages including home page/ These are a few of the violations according to Bing I am finding. http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-url-contains-a-session-identifier http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-invalid-markup http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-broken-hyperlinks http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-a-large-amount-of-script-code http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-multiple-canonical-formats http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-too-many-hyperlinks
